The Snorri programs all focus on the history of Icelandic settlers in North America. If you have Icelandic ancestors, if you are interested in the settlement history or just love to travel - the Snorri Program might be the one for you.

A third Snorri project, calledSnorri Deaf, launched in September 2018, for people who are deaf and use sign language to communicate.

Grants and scholarships are available from many INLNA member organizations, Icelandic Roots, and private foundations. A general list is on theINLNA website.*note: the webpage is outdated, but the criteria for each organization is current.

The Icelanders of Victoria offers a scholarship/grant for the Snorri and Snorri Plus programs. Pleasecontact usfor more information and to receive a 2020 application when it becomes available.
